The Alaska Board of Game (board) will meet in Anchorage on March 21 – 28 at the Egan Civic and Convention Center located in downtown Anchorage. During this eight-day public meeting, the board will address over 80 regulatory proposals requesting changes primarily to statewide provisions dealing with hunting and trapping, along with some region-specific topics.
Examples of the categories of topics to be considered by the board include but are not limited to, migratory bird hunting, hunter education, hunting and other types of permits, unlawful methods and means, game management unit boundaries, proxy hunting, intensive management, salvage and sealing requirements, possession and the sale of game, and sheep hunting in Game Management Unit 19C (McGrath). The general public, local fish and game advisory committees, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game submitted proposals.
All portions of the meetings are open to the public, and a live audio and video stream will be provided on the board’s website. The website will also include meeting material such as agendas, staff reports, and public and agency comments on proposals.
Once the meetings begin, written comments will be accepted online. They can also be submitted in person at the meeting or via fax to 907-465-6098.
Comments submitted during the meetings are limited to ten single-sided/five double-sided pages in length from any one individual or group. Comments submitted during the meeting will be logged with a record copy (“RC”) number, distributed to the board, and posted on the meeting page.
